OK. This may help. I just did a fresh install on my test machine and the trash icon works fine. The desktop system that's giving me grief was upgraded from a Gutsy install. Something must've been botched in the upgrade process. Is it possible an old setting is conflicting on the upgraded box?
If this is a bug, it may only affect dist-upgraded systems... Or I may just be lucky. -- gconf-editor (Hardy) will not allow trash icon on desktop despite selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
